Our democracy is little more than a sham to keep the masses quiet. It
makes no real difference to how anything operates and there is no way any
independent can
make a difference ? Party MPs are pretty impotent too. We are
ulitimately ruled by big business and those happy to suck up to it.


Oh dear and there's me thinking that we are ruled by Charities and soft
minded do gooders who seem to have permeated every political party in
Britain, all vying to give our money away "YES OUR MONEY" (not the
politicians)
on every hard luck story in the World. I had thought that Cameron would
change all this but he is just as bad as the last lot.

(End of Rant, subject not really appropriate for this group)

in 2009, the UK devoted 0.52% of its GDP to aid - 11.5 billion US dollars
(£7.75 billion) - with the total projected to rise to 0.7% this year.
That's £500 from every household

By comparison, France spent 0.46% of national income on aid, Germany 0.35%,
the US 0.2% and Italy just 0.16%.

Yet we cant seem to afford to rebuild our own schools that are falling to
bits,
